To find two numbers that multiply to 12 and add up to -13, you can use a trial and error method or algebraic methods.
Let's denote the two numbers as
�
x and
�
y. The conditions are:
�
×
�
=
12
x×y=12
�
+
�
=
−
13
x+y=−13
You need to find values for
�
x and
�
y that satisfy both conditions.
One possible solution is
�
=
−
1
x=−1 and
�
=
−
12
y=−12, because:
(
−
1
)
×
(
−
12
)
=
12
(−1)×(−12)=12
−
1
+
(
−
12
)
=
−
13
−1+(−12)=−13
So, the two numbers are -1 and -12.
